My name is Jomo Phillips; I founded The Relational Practices Ltd. I have over 25 years of clinical experience in various practice environments, including government social services, employee assistance, drug and alcohol rehabilitation, private residential and in-home treatment for high-net-worth individuals, and private practice. I am a couple and family therapist and clinical social worker who works with couples, families, and individuals in Barbados, the Caribbean, and worldwide. I passionately believe everyone should have an opportunity to experience safety, healing, and true love. I am affirming, willing, and happy to serve various clients, including members of the LGBTQI+ community. I am a former Fulbright Scholar with a B.Sc. in Social Work from the University of the West Indies, St. Augustine, and a Master of Science in Social Work (Marriage and Family Therapy Specialisation) from the University of Louisville, United States. I am also a Registered Marriage and Family Therapist in Canada, an ICEEFT Certified Emotionally Focused Couple Therapist and Supervisor, a Clinical Fellow and Approved Supervisor with the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, and a trained EMDR therapist. In addition to providing therapy, I teach social work and counselling. I have also taught nursing and medical students.

I am one of the founders of the Caribbean EFT Community and a former President of the Barbados Association of Professional Social Workers. When not working, I am first at spin class; I also love hanging out with my wife, family members and friends, reading, exploring nature, and swimming in the ocean with my daughter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b3025e33ad9c47589b46be/c10d5ae3-ecec-4544-9e17-8fe83c2c1fbb/phone-call+%281%29.png Team - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b3025e33ad9c47589b46be/8fbb1e5f-eb66-4ac5-8fc6-66611efb9fe1/Nicole_042b.jpg Team - Make it stand out Nicole Lynch, Ed.D. Registered Counselling Psychologist. My name is Nicole Lynch, and I am a Registered Counselling Psychologist (Barbados) with 19 years of therapy experience. I have worked in various settings, including schools, out-of-school programmes, residential homes for children in care, drug and alcohol rehabilitation centres, and private practice. I am passionate about fostering environments which support mental and emotional wellness in children, adolescents, adults, and young adults. Everyone deserves a safe space to experience unconditional positive regard, empathy, and healing. I am warm, attentive, curious, patient, and non-judgmental as a clinician. I am a former OAS scholar with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with Specialised Honours from York University, a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (School Counselling Specialisation) from Trinity Western University, a Doctor of Education in Early Childhood Education from Walden University and a Post Graduate Diploma in Education, Special Needs with Distinction from Erdiston Teachers’ Training College. I have started training in EMDR this year, and I recently completed the first half of my Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy training. In addition to my clinical work, I facilitate workshops locally and regionally in school-wide discipline, social and behavioural change, and parenting. I am passionate about supporting educators and enjoy co-hosting an annual teacher well-being retreat. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, singing along to musicals, trying new restaurants with my friends, and spending time with my husband and daughter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b3025e33ad9c47589b46be/f3c89d33-712a-47ca-abbc-ca59362990a9/IMG_6796.png Team - Make it stand out Brandon Koo, M.Sc. Counselling Psychologist I am Brandon Koo, a Counselling Psychologist dedicated to helping people strengthen their relationships with themselves and others. We thrive when we feel connected, seen, secure, and supported, and this belief shapes my work as a therapist. I earned the International Leader of Tomorrow Scholarship from the University of British Columbia, Canada, where I completed a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Spanish. I went on to complete a Master of Science in Counselling Psychology at the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus. My professional experience spans a range of settings, including school-based behaviour intervention programmes, substance misuse treatment facilities, and international mentorship initiatives for high-achieving students. In my clinical practice, I have worked with adults and youth facing trauma, depression, and anger. I am also passionate about couples therapy, helping partners rediscover their ability to love and be loved. I have completed the first component of my Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy training. I create a therapeutic space that is sincere, open, and affirming, particularly for individuals and families who often face additional burdens of stigma and marginalisation, including those within the LGBTQI+ community. I enjoy supporting clients as they learn to care for themselves and others, recognising that this work can be especially demanding in the Caribbean context. Outside of therapy, I enjoy activities like going to the gym, watching anime and reading comics, and spending time writing, reading, and liming at the beach with family and friends. https://www.therelationalpractices.com/hold-me-tight-workshop daily 0.75 2023-12-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b3025e33ad9c47589b46be/0018f2e3-3b7c-43a1-a1d5-5982b00afbbe/Amleya-Clarke-print-sRGB-_AMC4079.jpg Hold Me Tight Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b3025e33ad9c47589b46be/7eb13b6b-896b-45b0-ac8b-37b7af2acce1/Jomo-Phillips2.jpg Hold Me Tight Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b3025e33ad9c47589b46be/ae998ab5-e699-4197-b765-694f54df74f8/Kristen-Hamilton.jpg Hold Me Tight Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b3025e33ad9c47589b46be/7dbf4d97-69b2-4dcf-a756-69683c3a65ac/hold-me-tight-benefits-icon-128.png Hold Me Tight Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b3025e33ad9c47589b46be/7dbf4d97-69b2-4dcf-a756-69683c3a65ac/hold-me-tight-benefits-icon-128.png Hold Me Tight Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b3025e33ad9c47589b46be/7dbf4d97-69b2-4dcf-a756-69683c3a65ac/hold-me-tight-benefits-icon-128.png Hold Me Tight Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b3025e33ad9c47589b46be/7dbf4d97-69b2-4dcf-a756-69683c3a65ac/hold-me-tight-benefits-icon-128.png Hold Me Tight Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b3025e33ad9c47589b46be/7dbf4d97-69b2-4dcf-a756-69683c3a65ac/hold-me-tight-benefits-icon-128.png Hold Me Tight Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b3025e33ad9c47589b46be/2b8ceca3-1a51-4d64-afa0-a47caec54528/hastings-beach-view.jpg Hold Me Tight Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b3025e33ad9c47589b46be/b59f14b5-3471-4ae0-9107-df0bda4e1a29/02FC5AAD-C1BD-4962-9DB0-606330A4CADD.png Hold Me Tight Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b3025e33ad9c47589b46be/354c568c-d402-4db5-b586-82b2afb98571/4A59A7CF-88C7-4AE3-A105-27F76C183341.png Hold Me Tight Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b3025e33ad9c47589b46be/1692796214214-YXSLARYLYWYWUWV1WJ6K/image-asset.jpeg
